2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football: Tyler Warren Questionable vs. Titans
The Colts' top target is a game-time decision Sunday — here's how to handle Warren and the names who benefit if he sits.
The Indianapolis Colts added tight end Tyler Warren to their Week 6 injury report Friday with a groin injury, listing him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Warren was limited in the team's final practice of the week. He has been quarterback Daniel Jones's most-used target this season, hauling in 30 catches for 214 yards and two receiving touchdowns, and adding a touchdown run.
Tyler Warren
A late addition to the injury report on a Friday is never a good sign. Warren is a game-time decision at best, and with a groin injury — the kind that can flare up with route running and cutting — the risk of him playing through it at less than full capacity is real. In PPR formats (point-per-reception scoring), his target volume makes him a must-start when healthy, but the questionable tag means you need a backup plan ready. Check Sunday pregame reports before locking him in.
Will Mallory
Tight end Will Mallory (thumb) is also listed as questionable, per the same ProFootballTalk report. If Warren is active and limited, Mallory's role likely stays minimal. If Warren sits, Mallory becomes the de facto starting tight end — but the source story gives no detail on his practice participation this week, so treat him as a risky, low-ceiling dart throw rather than a confident plug-in.
Josh Downs
Downs carries no injury designation heading into Sunday, meaning he's expected to play. If Warren is out or limited, Jones will need to put the ball somewhere — and Downs figures to be the next man up in terms of target absorption. He's worth a look as a boom-or-bust flex option if Warren is ruled out, though the source story doesn't specify Downs's target share or role in detail beyond his clean injury status.
Note that wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Sunday after missing all practice this week, per ProFootballTalk. Jones himself carries no injury designation despite an ankle notation in the report, so the QB situation appears stable. Keep an eye on the final injury report and Sunday pregame news before setting lineups — Warren's status is the hinge point for the entire Colts passing game this week.
